Itinerary
Kraljevo(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeYour private guide will pick you up in Belgrade and take you south toward central Serbia. Along the way, you’ll pass through the town of Kraljevo, whose name literally means “King’s Town.” As you travel, your guide will explain the royal story behind the name, adding context that naturally connects this stop with the monasteries you’ll explore later in the day.Zica Monastery
1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedThe first major stop of the tour is Žiča Monastery, instantly recognizable by its vivid red façade. As you explore the grounds, you’ll learn why this monastery became closely linked to Serbian kingship and why it still holds a special place in the country’s cultural memory. Beyond its striking appearance, Žiča offers a calm and spacious setting where your guide helps connect the site’s meaning to the wider story of medieval Serbia — without turning the visit into a history lecture.Maglic Fortress(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeBetween two stops, you will enjoy a magnificent landscape during a ride through a Valley of the kings. If you pay close attention you can spot the remains of the marvelous Maglic fortress which is another attraction in this area. This medieval fortress overlooks this historic valley and still stands as a monument from ancient times.Studenica Monastery
1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeFollowing the scenic Ibar River valley, you’ll travel through quiet landscapes to Studenica Monastery, one of Serbia’s most peaceful and inspiring sacred sites. Surrounded by nature, Studenica invites you to slow down and take in the calm atmosphere that defines this remote valley. Inside the main church, you’ll admire remarkably preserved medieval frescoes, while your guide helps you understand what makes this place so special — not through dates and facts, but through stories, symbolism, and the feeling of standing inside an active UNESCO World Heritage site.Restoran nacionalne kuhinje "Kafana Kod Mira" od 1826. godine.
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeHaving finished with the main part, on the way back you'll stop by to a local village to have lunch in an authentic restaurant “Kod Mira”. This place exists for more than 200 years and overall that time is owned by the same family – that is the best verification of the quality of their food.
